Упражнение 7. Краткий ответ
- Penny can play the piano.
- The Smiths left for their annual holiday to the USA from — Heathrow Airport.
- My parents go to the cinema once a week.
- While we were in — Paris, we went on a boat trip down the River Seine.
- Emma won't be coming to the party. She has got a really bad cold.
- When the car crashed, it was travelling at 100 miles an hour.
- Tracy went to the hospital to visit Ted.

«—» значит, что артикль не нужен.
Как рассуждать
- The ставим, если предмет конкретный или единственный в ситуации: the party, the car, the hospital — Трейси едет туда как посетительница, а не как пациентка.
- The нужен в устойчивых выражениях и особых названиях: play the piano, go to the cinema, the Smiths — семья, the USA, the Netherlands, the River Seine — река.
- A/an — «один из многих»: a week, a boat trip, a bus, a really bad cold. Перед гласным звуком ставим an: an hour — буква h не читается.
- Без артикля: города и аэропорты — Paris, Heathrow Airport; by + транспорт — by train; last + месяц — last May.
Проверка: в устойчивых сочетаниях и с именами собственными артикль либо фиксированный, либо нулевой, поэтому прочерк в ответе — это тоже полноценный ответ.
